With the US amassing aircraft carriers, fighter jets and 4,500 Marines and sailors in the eastern Mediterranean Sea to defend Israel, a new poll found the majority of Americans oppose sending US forces to defend the Jewish state from Iran.

From Antiwar, "Majority of Americans Oppose Using US Troops To Defend Israel":

The majority of Americans oppose the idea of US troops being used to defend Israel if it comes under attack by Iran, according to a poll conducted by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs that was released on Tuesday.

The poll, conducted from June 21–July 1, 2024, found that 56% of Americans oppose US troops defending Israel, while 42% support the idea. Support for defending Israel is stronger among Republicans, with 53% in favor and only 32% of Democrats in favor.

The survey also found that 55% of Americans oppose US troops defending Israel if it comes under attack by a neighboring country.

Republicans were especially eager to sacrifice American blood for Israel in 2021 with 72% support but that number has fallen precipitously over the past three years down to 55%.

Per usual, public opinion doesn't matter at all as the Biden administration has pledged to defend Israel from any attack from Iran or its allies and may be sending even more troops off Israel's coast as we speak.

Israel needs America to fight their war with Iran and they need it now.
